    I want to live X but how's the internet speed?

    I've had worse, that's for sure.

    INVESTING 
    What about this is tax free? Australia has a 30% dividend withholding tax for non-residents, while residents are taxed on dividend income, correct?

    Evaluating Control

    EXECUTION 
    Great reply. I'd thought the same but wanted to be sure - the important aspect is offering the end result, but using whichever methods/channels make the most sense/provide the best value.

    Evaluating Control

    EXECUTION 
    Maybe I have read chapter 32 too many times - I'm having trouble working out the level of control here. Building a digital marketing agency, you are in control of your staff, in control of your services, in control of which clients you take on, but you are not in control of if those clients...

    Consolidation and Focus

    EXECUTION 
    So it's been an interesting couple of weeks. New opportunities, new frustrations and some great income. Scaling HR is absolutely a challenge and there's been times where I've been ready to chuck it all in. Then I discovered this podcast...

    Slowlaner from Down Under.

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Melbourne would be my pick from the two as well. I haven't lived in Australia full time for a while now so don't really know what's what but I'm sure you can find some entrepreneur groups/business networking nights to go to. I find it hard to meet new people in a new place, but I force myself to...

    Slowlaner from Down Under.

    SLOWLANE INTRO 
    Don't look back fella! Take a step. Then another. Then 10 more. Then start running. Even if you're not always heading in the right direction you'll end up a long way from where you are right now. My only suggestion: make sure you're moving to Melbourne or Sydney for a reason. Both can be...

    Who here is from Australia?

    Depending on the countries you are looking at, go with FBA. Shipwire can also be a consideration.

    Should I sell at a loss?

    MARKETING 
    Personally I'd only sell at a loss if: a) the economies of scale allow you to purchase larger volumes at a lower price, meaning sales on your website make a greater profit b) you can include promo gear telling people to go back to your website (rather than eBay) As a consumer, if I went to...

    Should I sell at a loss?

    MARKETING 
    What brings in the traffic? SEO Social Media Social Ads Paid Search If none of these explicitly mention the price outside of your website, why would there be issues with increasing the price? In theory the traffic still comes in, while you make a greater margin/begin to break even on the...

    Who here is from Australia?

    I saw your other thread. Definitely a tricky time for sure. I sell in the US but have family that import from China/US to Australia. It's been tough going for a while now, though with many competitors going broke they are able to increase prices in AUD so the margins are slowly coming back. Are...

    Who here is from Australia?

    Question for the Aussies in here, how is business right now? Seems like a great time to be exporting to markets with stronger currencies, but if you're playing the import game it must be tough.

    Who here is from Australia?

    I was in SA. Didn't want to be on a sinking ship so moved to greener pastures for now. :p

    GOLD! 
    Trello is definitely a no brainer to those that have worked with Kanban before, but as a GSD system it's uses are endless. I know people that use it for grocery shopping!

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    I was using it to find the median price. I guess the benefit of data is that you can do a lot with it. At this point in time it looks as though there is no way to scrape the availability calendar.

    2 minute test to gauge product demand

    NOTABLE! 
    Ha, thanks. I should have added a disclaimer: if you don't have an AdWords account it may take closer to 4 minutes.

    2 minute test to gauge product demand

    NOTABLE! 
    Yes exactly, this is traditionally a high-level method of finding traffic for a website. I see a lot of blog posts on people buying Facebook ads to send them to a squeeze page to sign up to a mailing list to decide on interest for a product, but that can be a lot of work/overly complex...

    2 minute test to gauge product demand

    NOTABLE! 
    This could really be posted in a different area but I find it most helpful when working with established brands/products. It is absolutely not a thorough market analysis, but it is a quick test that can help you to make a fast decision on whether or not your idea is worth pursuing. In this...
